Turning on adaptive sampling whilst using render layers increases the noise in black shadows. Is this an expected behaviour? Even with 4096 samples the black shadow layer is unusable due to the amount of noise. With adaptive sampling turned off then the black shadows layer is much cleaner. v3.08.5

Pleas, post at least some screenshots with kernel settings, or, even better, an example scene that shows the issue, thanks .
